Another round of wintry weather for Oklahoma

A strong low pressure system will move in from the southwest U.S. and affect Oklahoma as soon as early Sunday morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of the state including the OKC metro through 6 a.m. Monday. The title image shows the counties under this advisory.

Abundant moisture streaming in, coupled with the cold air at the surface and aloft, will allow for sleet and snow to fall in the state.

Western Oklahoma will see sleet and snow develop overnight with precipitation spreading into central Oklahoma mid-morning through the day Sunday.

Models have the sleet and snow ending by early Monday morning.

The related image shows high probabilities of wintry weather on Sunday.

While surface temperatures will be in the 20s for most when the sleet and snow starts, soil temperatures will still be quite warm.

Initial concerns for travel will be bridges and overpasses. As sleet and snow continues, road conditions will deteriorate.

Oklahoma City looks to see 1 to 2 inches of sleet and snow through Monday morning. Areas on the south and west side may see 2 to 3 inches, including south and western Oklahoma. Isolated areas southwest could see up to 3.5 and 4 inches sleet and snow. Areas in northeast Oklahoma will see less than 1 inch sleet and snow.

Highs on Sunday will be near freezing. Winds should be lighter. Highs Monday will be in the upper 30s.

Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day travel looks good as temperatures climb to the mid-40s to near 50 degrees under a mostly sunny sky.
